SoFo, Creative neighborhood in Södermalm district, Stockholm, Sweden
SoFo spans seven blocks south of Folkungagatan street, featuring independent fashion stores, vintage shops, organic cafes, pottery studios, and art galleries.
Local entrepreneurs established this neighborhood in 2003, naming it SoFo after London and Manhattan districts to promote Swedish fashion and retail innovation.
The neighborhood functions as a center for Swedish design, with numerous fashion designers, art galleries, media companies, and advertising agencies establishing their presence.
Medborgarplatsen metro station provides direct access to SoFo, located four stops from Central Station, with most shops operating between 11:00 and 18:00 daily.

Stockholm has over 70 museums and cultural institutions spread between its medieval city center and its islands accessible within a few minutes by tram. The city has preserved its original buildings while developing modern exhibition spaces that cover a thousand years of Scandinavian history. Visitors can spend a day walking from the cobbled streets of Gamla Stan, lined with 17th-century merchant houses, to the contemporary galleries of Fotografiska housed in former port warehouses. The permanent collections cover diverse fields. The Vasa Museum displays a 69-meter (226 feet) warship recovered intact after three centuries underwater. The Royal Palace opens its state apartments and treasury to the public. Djurgården Island features several major sites, including Skansen open-air museum with 150 historic buildings from across Sweden, the Modern Art Museum with works by Dalí and Picasso, and ABBA The Museum dedicated to the band that sold 400 million records. The Nobel Museum chronicles the history of the Nobel Prize since 1901 with objects belonging to over 900 laureates.
